The Staff was really just a big stick…Anyway, it was capped by an elaborate headpiece with a carving of the sun at the top. What you had to do was take the Staff to a special map room in Tanis--it had the whole city laid out in miniature on the floor. When you placed the Staff in a certain spot in this room, at a certain time of day, the sun would shine through a hole here in the headpiece and then send a beam of light down here—to the map--giving you the location of the Well of the Souls...

More Colbert

Ran across this over at Eschaton. Evidently the mainstream media (MSM to you political hipsters) is largely ignoring Stephen Colbert's absolutely devastating performance the other day. Seriously, go watch that clip I linked to below. Most people that I know think The Daily Show is more amusing than The Colbert Report, but I think Colbert's doing more important work. Jon Stewart can show really absurd clips of the media saying or doing rediculous things, but Colbert is all the more effective because his persona plays it all with a straight face.

Also, today is Loyalty Day, so no criticism today. In fact, no criticism ever!
